摘要:
Modified dimers having a ribose sugar moiety in the 5′ nucleoside and a 2′ modified sugar in the 3′ nucleoside are provided. The modified dimers are useful in the preparation of oligonucleotide analogs having enhanced properties compared to native oligonucleotides, including increased nuclease resistance, enhanced binding affinity and improved protein binding.
摘要:
Oligonucleotide-folate conjugates are described wherein folates are conjugated to one or more sites on an oligonucleotide including the 2′-, 3′-, 5′-, nucleobase and internucleotide linkage sites. The folate can be attached via the &agr;- or &ggr;-carboxylate, optionally through a linking group. Methods for the regiospecific synthesis of the conjugates are disclosed.
